| Personal Notes: |
|
Baptised at Castle Carey near Wincanton in neighbouring Somerset on 09 Feb 1810, John Speed Andrews was the first child of Betty nee DURNFORD and John SPEED who had been a paymaster-purser in the Royal Navy. (It is unclear how 'Andrews' became attached to the Speed surname).
Jane's husband was a wine and spirit merchant, maltster and mine host of Castle Carey's Britannia Inn. Known as Young John, he inherited the inn when his father John retired from business in 1841. Jane and John had seven sons, all born at Castle Carey between 1839 and 1856. 'Young John' ran the inn until he and Jane moved to Tottenham in London about 1876. John was a very civic-minded man who held several public offices such as Guardian, Waywarden and Overseer. He also was a member of the Provisional Committee of the Gas & Coke Company, and an active Freemason. Both he and Jane had long lives - John died at Tottenham on 03 Jul 1896 and Jane, who was by then totally blind, died at Catford on 04 Feb 1897. Both are buried in Chingford Cemetery. In a newspaper article relative to John's death, it was noted that four sons were still living and that none were less than six feet tall. Three held Royal Navy commissions and one was in the mercantile marine. |
